(I’m following the Conspiracy game on IdleMafia, so I’ve seen peeker’s posts before, admittedly, whereas I don’t know if **Diggit** has, but still …) But by the same token, I don’t see why that would be worth voting him for; his response about “how would peeker write ‘I wish I’” seems clear enough to me now that I’m properly caffeinated. > > I’d really like another option, but no one has done anything that strikes me as remotely scummy. > > A near-unanimous bandwagon on Day One is arguably worse for Town than not lynching at all. (Not that I’m suggesting that’s remotely an option, oh great glorious mods.) Actually, you’re right. Your post prompted me to look at **peeker** ’s previous posts so I guess he’s not one to capitalize anything. So I have to retract my claim that he has an “obvious” posting restriction. ---

Ok I’m going to take a different route and vote for the first voter of the Day, because of how long we went with no votes at all – I know from experience that sort of situation gives Scum an itchy trigger finger. They have more people to worry about than the rest of us do (as we have no Masons). So that would be **texcat**. Also, because **ColdPhoenix** came forward to explain **texcat** ’s Monty Python confusion after **peeker** ’s vote, and that could conceivably have been motivated by something other than altruism. (I guess the same applies to me with respect to **Diggit** , but them’s the breaks.) And, it must be said, because of OMGUS. (No, not really.) **vote texcat** Not much, but it’s the best I’ve got. ---

Our esteemed mod’s comment seems to be more in line with the idea that there was a significant lag before our first vote came. But I came to **vote texcat**. He’s the one with the second-most votes and lynching him might avert my lynching. ---

**Unvote DC** , for now.

Not necessarily suspicious, just hella weird. And Diggit’s a good first vote. He’s certainly stirring the pot. Three posts to justify a vote, when no one asks **FS** for clarification? Am I reading too much into this, or does it look like FS wasn’t paying attention, followed by trying to hard to justify the vote? Meanwhile I’ll keep scrounging. ---

Sorry, I’m here. I just didn’t see the point in adding yet more worthless speculation on what may or may not be Gasterd about this game. It just seems to me we should wait until one Day has passed so we have something at least resembling actual information with which to speculate. The Diggit bandwagon is ridiculous. I know it’s Day 1, no good cases, blah blah blah. Even still, voting for him(her? It’s been a while and I can’t remember now) for not being familiar with peeker’s style and assuming a post restriction instead of an affectation is terrible. Of all the people that voted for him, the one that pings me the most is Mahaloth. Way to give DC time to respond! It strikes me as a scum hopping on a bandwagon in an attempt to get a freebie mislynch. **Vote Mahaloth** ---

The case against **texcat** is: \*1 joke vote ( **peeker** ) \*first to vote ( **normal phase** ) \*1 self defence vote ( **diggitcamara** ) Not exactly a solid case, even by Day 1 standards ---

I just thought it was a weird reason to be suspicious. Still don’t get the post restriction. ---

To be fair, **Nanook** , I thought that too, but then I looked up again and realized that Diggit had in fact posted during the night, just not in a way that explained himself. So his comment makes more sense in that context. ---

Whoa, that’s a bit of a hair trigger there, considering it’s aimed at the wrong target. **AllWalker** was criticizing the votes against you, saying they didn’t add up to much in terms of quality (and he’s right; my vote was the only one of the three with any reasoning behind it beyond self-preservation). He was not criticizing you at all. Why would you jump to the conclusion that he was? ---
